&quot;Some people were unable to understand that India&#39;s ranking had moved from 142 to 100. They don&#39;t care,&quot; he said.

&quot;And there are some among these people who have worked at the World Bank. They are raising questions on India&#39;s ranking even today.&quot;

&quot;Had reforms like the insolvency and the bankruptcy code been undertaken in your time, wouldn&#39;t this good fortune have come your way?&quot; the prime minister said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Referring to the World Bank&#39;s report moving India up 30 places in its ease of doing business survey, PM Modi said he sensed a &quot;well-deserved mood of celebration&quot;.

&quot;I sense a well-deserved mood of celebration here, World Bank has recognised stupendous work done by us towards ease of doing business,&quot; PM Modi said.

&quot;Ease of doing business also leads to ease of life.&quot;

PM Modi also said that the World Bank report had not taken into account the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax.&nbsp;
